A surgically implanted Kinetra® dual-channel neurostimulator, similar to a cardiac pacemaker, delivers electrical stimulation to precisely targeted areas on each side of the brain. Bilateral stimulation of these areas controls the signals that cause the disabling bilateral motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Patients may also have two Soletra® or Itrel™ II neurostimulators, each of which controls the electrical signals to a single lead.
